Obituary of Robert Michael Strezewski
Please share a memory of Robert to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Robert "Bob" Michael Strezewski, husband to Mary Rose Strezewski, father to Michael (Anna) and James (Nina), and grandfather of 4 (Nicole, John, Sarah, and Andrew), passed away on Wednesday, December 29, 2016. Bob was known for his many passions and unique traits that included reading books from his personal, extensive library, American Civil War history, arguing with TV news, eggs and bacon (a lot of bacon), rehashing antiquated jokes, telling engaging stories, and adding mounds of salt to all food types. He was a highly accomplished accordion player and a devout, lifelong Cubs fan (lucky enough to witness their World Series win). Probably most of all, he will be remembered for his love of teaching. He taught English at St. Viator High School for 41 years before retiring. God bless, go Cubs, and know that your friends and family will miss you dearly.
